Um... Hi. This is my first MegaMan fiction, so be easy on me, OK? I
haven't played any of the battle network games yet, but I've become a big
fan of the fiction's written about them. Props to the Netto & Maylu
pairings(yes, this means you Sailorjj07)! Anyway, I know basically nothing
about the series, so I won't be using any of the main characters till I
learn more about how they act.(If you would be so kind, check my bio and E-
mail me some information. Thanks!) I don't own anything except for the fic.
MegaMan Zero and MegaMan battle network belong to Capcom.

Vash had wanted a Navi since he was a kid, but his family was in the middle class, so he could never afford one. He had begged his parents to buy him one, but it had never happened. However, one rather warm Christmas eve, his parents somehow got together enough money to buy him a PET. He still didn't have a personal Navi, just the kind that comes with the PET when you buy them. Vash resolved to make himself a custom Navi, and he succeded in making MagnetMan.EXE. Fate, however, had something else in mind for Vash...
------
Vash was against the wall of the school gym. He suddenly realized being the school nerd wasn't the greatest thing in the world. Another fist suddenly pounded into his stomach. Laughter echoed in his ears as the bullies pounded both him and his Navi. He heard the familiar tone of his Navi logging out. He tried to move to help his Navi, but his bleeding leg wouldn't let him.
"So long wimp!" one of the bullies called. "Hope you like what we did to your Navi!" the group erupted in laugher and walked off, leaving a beaten Vash to recover.
"Great... I guess they deleted my Navi... I'm so sorry MagnetMan..." Vash spoke to his deleted Navi. The blank screen of his PET only served to remind him how weak he was...
------
"Zero! Welcome back!" Ciel glomped onto Zero like there was no tomorrow.
"Uh... Hi Ciel. I missed you to." Zero blushed, but recovered before anyone noticed. "Ciel, about Elipizo, I..."
"You mean..." Ciel started. Tears were forming in her eyes.
"Yeah. He released Dark Elf, but I was still able to stop him. Dark Elf... She turned Elipzio into a Cyber Elf. I think I know Dark El-." Zero stopped, holding back his theory. From what his incomplete memories could tell, Dark Elf could have been...
"Zero, it's OK. I knew that he probably wouldn't be coming back, not after that message. I wonder if he'll find us on his own..."
Zero didn't want to rush Ciel, but he wanted to go back and look for X. He knew it would take some time before she would be happy again, but he knew he could wait for that. Seeing her smile filled him with 'happiness', or the Reploid equivalent.
"Ciel, is it possible to transfer me directly into the Dark Elf's chamber?"
"Yes, I believe so. Can you prepare the transfer pad?"
One of the tech's started typing away on her console, and soon the chamber was flashing red. "Coordinates set! Ready for transfer!"
"Zero, be careful. I don't want to lose you too..."
"Transfer start!" Another tech yelled.
"I will Ciel. Don't worry, I can handle myself." Zero disappeared from the transfer pad in a flash of light, leaving Ciel standing alone in the command center.
------
Zero stood alone in the Dark Elf's chamber. The chamber was dark now. Zero guessed that the Dark elf had left the area. Zero's helmet jewel flashed on, illuminating the immediate area. He quickly found what he was searching for. X, once the best Maverick Hunter in existence, lay dead in the rubble of the Dark Elf's container.
"So, old friend, what happens now? I've beaten Neo Arcadia again, and I released the Dark Elf, and I even might have fallen in love..."
"Well Zero, you still haven't died yet." X suddenly appeared next to his dead form. Zero was stunned at his appearance. "That was a joke Zero. You can't die just yet. For one thing, you would be leaving Ciel all alone."
"X, when will I finally get my memory back?"
"Right now. Inside that copy body, there is a memory chip that has all your memories."
"IT WAS ANOTHER COPY?!? DUDE, HOW MANY COPIES OF YOURSELF DO YOU HAVE?" Zero opened up Copy X's damaged chest and found his memories.
"Um... That's not what I'm here to talk about Zero. I need you to go into the past."
"What? Who, when, why, how?"
"You have to go back in time to start your own existence. That explains the 'why'. The Who is in your memory chip, and the how is Dark Elf. The when, even I don't know. All that explains the what."
Zero, who was now confused at X's rambling, Shook his head and inserted his memory chip into his body. He suddenly started to remember his life, starting with Meeting X, to going into stasis. "X... You... How..."
"Don't question it. Just get ready." X left without another word. A bright light filled the room, as the Dark Elf descended again.
"Zero... I miss you..."
"What?" His vision was suddenly filled with light. His last thought was a name. 'Iris!'
------
Vash was at home. His bodily wounds had healed, but his soul was still deeply scared. MagnetMan.EXE was gone, and he could do nothing about it. MagnetMan was so strong, but without direction, he was helpless. That's why he had lost to the weaker Navi's the bullies had. If only...
Vash's thought were interrupted by a strange noise coming from his PET. He looked over to see a Navi sitting in the screen. "Where am I?" The Navi said.
"Huh? Who are you?" Vash asked. "And why are you in my PET?"
"Listen kid, I don't even know what this 'pet' thing IS."
"Wait, aren't you a Navi?"
"A what?"
"An internet navigator."
"Oh. I don't think I am, but I'm not sure..."
"Well, your in my PET, so I would assume so."
'Is this what X meant by starting my existence? Was I a Navi at first?' Zero thought. "OK, so I'm a Navi. Who are you?"
"Um, my name's Vash. I was the operator of a Navi called MagnetMan, but..."
"What happened?"
"I was too weak to protect him, and without my battle chips, he was deleted. I... I couldn't stop the bullies from taking him from me, and they- " Tears started to well up in his eyes.
"Oh. Sorry I asked, curiosity got the best of me. What day is it, anyway?"
"Well, last time I checked, it was the tenth of august, in 2018."
"Really... I thought- Wait, never mind."
"Hey, I never got your name. What is it?"
"The name is Zero. MegaMan Zero."

Hey, that was pretty fun to write. I really like this story-line, so if you want me to continue, please send me some info on how the whole Navi thing works. I'm trying to get my hands on a copy of MM Battle Network, but in the mean time, I'll have to go by what I've read in other fictions. Thanks for reading, and please review!
